The last time we moved he was 4 months old with a trach. He slept most of the time, and we stayed in hotels every night. It was a full 7 days of driving lol. I'm assuming that he won't be that tolerant this time around ;-) he will be 2.5

We moved about a year ago, but only 1 mile away. None of the long travel, hotel stays you had to deal with. Our biggest thing was keeping my son with autism on his schedule so he would not overload. And we painted his new room the exact same color/same bedding/window treatments, etc as his brother's room in the old house that was becoming his and he loved. It was painted the night before we moved in and set up before he got there so his space was ready upon his arrival. It is like his safe/comfort space and needs consistency. He had zero problems, even going from sharing a room with his 2 triplet sisters to a room all his own. I was amazed!

We have moved, but only about 15-20 minutes away. Brady did fairly well as I had his room and playroom all setup prior to moving day so that he would have something familiar around when we got to the new house. Hugs and good luck!

That's great! Structure will be hard with this one, we are taking the opportunity to visit a bunch of people along the way, but each visit will give us a few days out of the car. Once we arrive and get settled its going to take time to get everything back on track.

Thanks! I wish I could have everything ready for us when we get there ;-)
